lowering/sidestand

[Smith, Don TRAN:EX]

While I like my Kili, I want to improve the armour for more abrasion resistance. Has anyone added hard armour to the jacket or attached skid patches to the outside? Any ideas? Thx, Don Vancouver BC

With some duct tape you could probably try what this guy did... http://www.geocities.com/suketh.geo/gun/mall_ninja_1.html Mark St.Hilaire, Sr msaint@...

Wear a motorcross chest protector underneath it, with hard elbow pads attached. I wear this under my Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket for off-roading. Since I have to ride about 75mi to get to where I am trail riding, I need the abrasion protection. This combo flows enough air to be comfortable on the hottest days while only going 15mph in the woods. In the colder weather, I wear the motorcross armour over my Vanson jacket.

Does someone make shorter sidestands? Steve >> Tha options... -DualStar offers a lowered sidestand. -Street legal knobs will raise the KLR enough to not need to shorten the stand. (depending on which size lowlinks you bought, I can't say that this will work with the 1.5 inch drops) -Don Beck has a neat do it yourself shortening kit, that he includes with his links. -On the first set of links I tried, (Quality R&D 1.5's) I had a welder friend cut down my stock sidestand about a half inch, worked fine. Alternating between 1 inch and 3/4 inch drop links with street legal knobs now, the stock length sidestand works fine for me.
